LT Downing was my last re-enlisting Officer in the United States Navy.

During the attack he told the Lord “I’ll be with you in a minute”.

Glad to hear his words even if I had to click that disgust of a network NBC to do so. What must Meg Kelley be thinking now!

I can think of so many other people more deserving of Lt. Downing’s secret of longevity.

They’d never do it but think if Megyn Kelly’s show turned in to segments just like this one throughout the show. Her ratings would skyrocket but they’d rather flounder by producing junk.

Secret #1:

“Stay away from toxic skanks like you.”

Shameless plug: For his Eagle Scout project my son made a documentary about a USS Arizona survivor. Quite professional, if I may say. View it ad free on YouTube. The link is at witnesstoinfamy.com

Although the segment referenced God, they couldn't bring themselves to say the name of Jesus.

However, "He has been part of The Navigators from the beginning and was discipled by our founder Dawson Trotman. To this day, Jim is still discipling others and living "To Know Christ and to Make Him Known®."

I really don’t want to listen MK to find out his “secret”. Could you please tell me what he said. I am curious. Thank you.
